Abstract

In order to measure the mass flow rate of randomly distributed solids flowing in pneumatic conveyors the sensing fields need to be uniform so that, ideally, any particle will contribute equally to the flow signal wherever it exists within the sensing field. Four different sensing techniques are discussed based on capacitive, electrostatic, microwave and nucleonic principles with regard to their homogeneous sensing characteristics.
